Page 169 - Enchaunters call ; But all that was not such as seemd in sight Before that shield did fade, and suddeine fall : And when him list the raskall routes appall, Men into stones therewith he could transmew, And stones to dust, and dust to nought at all ; And, when him list the prouder lookes subdew, He would them gazing blind, or turne to other hew.
Page 319 - There in a gloomy hollow glen she found A little cottage, built of stickes and reedes In homely wize, and ,wald with sods around ; In which a Witch did dwell, in loathly weedes And wilfull want, all carelesse of her needes ; So choosing solitarie to abide Far from all neighbours, that her divelish deedes And hellish arts 'from people she might hide, And hurt far off unknowne whomever she envide.
